Reel Review: Our Times

Netflix’s Our Times is a clever twist on the usual time‑travel romance—this Mexican import blasts its married physicist couple from 1966 directly into 2025. Lucero as Nora shines—finally seen for her genius—as does her chemistry with Benny Ibarra’s Héctor. The premise? Nora thrives in today’s more equitable world, while Héctor recoils at the shifting dynamics, stirring real tension. It’s affectionate, funny, and clever enough to avoid clichés—though it zips through its ending, leaving some arcs unexplored. Still, in a tidy 90 minutes, it marries sci‑fi flair, feminist punch, and emotional bite.

A final word from the Mitten: Sharp, feel-good, and packed with ideas—worth the click. Rated: 5.6 out of 10.
